The Truth of Thy Salvation
We come into the presence of God only according to the, “Truth of Thy Salvation” Ps. 69:13. So, what is the truth of God’s salvation? Perhaps the alliteration will give us some hooks on which to hang our thoughts.
1. God is SOVEREIGN in Salvation. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy…Rom 9:15-16.
2. Christ is SUCCESSFUL in God’s Salvation. You shall call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins. Matt. 1:21. It is finished. Jn. 19:30.
3. Christ is SUFFICIENT in God’s Salvation. He only is my Rock and my salvation; He is my defense… Ps. 62:2.
4. Christ is the SUBJECT of God’s Salvation. …the gospel of God…concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 1:1-3.
5. Christ is the SUBSTITUTE of God’s Salvation. God will provide Himself a Lamb. Gen. 22:8
6. Christ is God’s SATISFACTION in Salvation. He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied. Is. 53:11a.
7. Christ is the SHINNING of God’s Salvation. For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. II Cor. 4:6.
We bear these truths to be clearly set forth in the Word of God. Any attempt to approach God on a message of salvation contrary to these will surely fail. ~Greg
